Mejora en Maximo

English Translation:

I have identified several opportunities for improvement in the IBM Maximo Self-Service tool. Currently, users do not have access to a clear service menu or request catalog; they only see the option "Report your request," which makes it difficult for them to determine the type of request they need to submit.

Additionally, it is evident that many users do not clearly understand the difference between a service request and an incident, which results in rework for the Help Desk when cases are submitted under incorrect categories. Users also experience difficulties attaching files or supporting documents to their requests, which delays case processing and resolution.

I believe it would be beneficial to strengthen training on the use of the IBM Maximo Self-Service tool, including practical guidance on how to submit service requests and incidents, when to use each option, and how to attach the required documentation. Furthermore, a more intuitive service catalog would help reduce registration errors and improve the overall user experience, while optimizing Help Desk response and resolution times.


He identificado algunas oportunidades de mejora en la herramienta de Autogestión de IBM Maximo. Actualmente, los usuarios no cuentan con un menú o catálogo claro de solicitudes; únicamente visualizan la opción "Reporta tu solicitud", lo que dificulta identificar el tipo de requerimiento que necesitan realizar. Adicionalmente, se evidencia que muchos usuarios no tienen claridad sobre la diferencia entre una solicitud de servicio y un incidente, lo que genera reprocesos en la Mesa de Ayuda al registrar casos en categorías incorrectas. También se presentan dificultades para adjuntar archivos o documentos como soporte de las solicitudes, lo que retrasa la gestión de los casos. Considero que sería beneficioso fortalecer la capacitación sobre el uso de la herramienta de Autogestión IBM Maximo, incluyendo una guía práctica sobre cómo registrar solicitudes e incidentes, cuándo utilizar cada opción y cómo adjuntar la documentación requerida. Asimismo, un catálogo de servicios más intuitivo contribuiría a reducir errores en el registro y mejoraría la experiencia del usuario, optimizando los tiempos de atención de la Mesa de Ayuda.

    Thank you for your feedback. The team has discussed this, and we agree we can improve. we are taking on both a UX improvement work and documentation work.


    We hope we will have some updates over the coming months in both documentation and in the UX via a patch.
